have become "reminiscences before
now. The caprices of fashion con-
sumo faster than nature can create.
What will be the end OF it? Long
before the earth can cool man will
have devoured all its natural pro-
duets and will live merely upon
what he manufactures.
If only this craze could be turned
in practical directions, how fortu-
nate it would be. What, for ex-
ample, could be transformed into
loveller decoration for the bonnet
than the timid mouse or the saga
cious mole? And what artistic
wraps could be fabricated from the
epidermis of the despised rat.
French skill makes the skunk pre-
cious in robes, and yet the yankee
rolls in woodehucks, regardless of
what fashion might do for him if it
were seized with the within. Here
is great field for the philanthropic
mode makers. Let them but per-
suade the dear creatures who halve
our joys and double our sorrows
that the pests of the natural world
are desirable for their adornment
and the present deyastations OF
fashion will be transformed into
| blessings.

assertions that we were wrong and that civil

As soon as il was dark we filed out of camp,
visited store where we procured an Ak, some
candles, etc, and proceeded to the Jail. We
demanded the key Of the jailor, whs would
have given them up, but his wife had them
and decidedly refused TO surrender them. Baf-

boys reported force crossing the bridge on
double-quick. At the other end of the bridge
two companies of the 9lst Ill. were camped.
Pitching our AK and other tools into the cells,
we decamped in haste, and when the officers of
the 9lst came to our camp demanding an ex-
PLANTATION and ordered the rOll-call all answer

identified. being conspicuous for his stature and
holding the light and giving commands. He

Our first action was at Huff's Ferry, in East
Tenn, while trying to prevent Longstreet from
crossing the Tennessee River. Capt Brooks
had been promoted to Major. We were advanc-

ers were firing from the shelter of a house.
Seeing this the Major gave the following order
Capt. I. j. Milholland. deploy Co. as indie

scour those premises thoroughly, and murder

the Major was excited and gave the order as

The Great Reunion al WheeIIng--A Larger Crowd
Than Ever Before.


The l1th annual Reunion Of the Army of
West Virginia, held last week at Wheeling was
a monster affair, eclipsng all previous occasions
in the history of the society. The attendance
of members WAS very large, while thousands of
other comrades from West Virginia Penusyl-

On the last day there was a grand parade OF

POLITICAL
IOWA REPUBLICANS.

At the Iowa State Convention. at Des Moines,
Gov. William Larrabee was renominated by
reclamation. Lieut.. Hill was renomi-
mated in the same manner. The Convention
was the largest and most enthusiastic held in
Iowa for many years. John Brennan, the Irish
orator, of Sioux City, was temporary Chairman.
In his speech every reference to Blaine was
roundly applauded. and at the mention of Alli-
son the house nearly went wild. The platform
condemns the suppression of the negro vote in
the South, favOrs protective tariff and the re-
duction of taxation whenever this policy will
allow, and the revision of the revenue laws to
the end that taxation may be equitable on all
kinds of property; opposes criminal, pauper and
contract labor immigration; declares for the
enforcement of the civil service laws condemns
the National Administration for its broken
pledges and its disregard of Union soldiers; ia
vors the strict enforcement of the prohibition
law, and extends sympathy to the Irish people
in their struggle for home rule. No mention
is made of Presidential candidates.
MARYLAND REPUBLICANS.
Hon. Louis E. McComas was Chairman of the
Maryland Republican Convention last week.
The nominations were all made by reclamation,
as follows: For Governor, Walter b. Brooks, OF
Baltimore County: Controller, Robert b.
Dixon, of Talbot County; Attorney General,
Francis Miller of Montgomery County. John
X. Cowen. of Baltimore, representing the indie
pendent Democrats, made a speech assuring
the Convention that they would support the
Republican ticket.

RUINED BY HIGH LIVING.
An Attorney In Cincinnati Driven to
Forgery and Suicide by Love Of
Luxury.

CINCINNATI, November 25.-A
morning, paper says that it has been
discovered that the late Charles AL
bert Kebler, attorney, who committed
suicide on Wednesday, was driven
to the deed by the approaching rev.
elation of heavy forgerles committed
by him in the management of estates
and of trust funds committed to his
care. The estimate is made that the
liabilities thus incurred amount to
about Sl75,O00, while the property
left BY Kebler will not exceed $780,
900. The persons most seriously
affected are his own family and
friends. The astonishing revelation
disclosed the motive to be nothing
more than to keep up a style Of lux.
urious living beyond his means. The
use of trust funds having been begun,
the continuance became apparently
a necessity. An instance is given
where $4,000 was invested for q
client and all the papers relating to
it, including mortgage, were for
geries. His friends find the case so
strange that they readily agree that
some form of insanity must have led
him into q course 80 far removed
from what might have been expected
of one with bis training and antece'
dents.

THEFArE EX-SENATOR JONES.
We Wastes his Fortune and Loses his

CHICAGO, November 23.-A Daily
Ners special from Detroit, Mich.
says: 1T became Known for the first
time yesterday, to few persons,
that Ex-United States Senator
Charles F. Jones. of Florida, who has
for some unexplained reason So
journed IN Detroit for two years past,
is practically q beggar upon the
street, and, but for the charity of
friends, would be without food or
shelter. When Mr.. Jones came to
Detroit, be was very free with his
money, and gave lavishly to benevo
lent purposes. He boarded at the
test hotel until few months ago,
when lie was unable to pay his bills.
He then went to cheaper house,
and last night his room WAS locked
on him and be slept on the floor in
the hall. He was observed by q
man whom be lad befriended in his
better days, and was taken to the
mans home. Mr.. Jones is almost a
mental wreck. He is pursued with
the idea that some enemies, whom he
never names, are following him, and
that he will yet down them"

Mr.. Gladstone Coming.

BUFFALO, n. Y, Nov. 26.-Mr.
Charles A. Gillig, of the American
Exchange, London, registered at the
Genesee to-day. In conversation
with a reporter, Mr.. Gillig stated
that his present visit to the United
States was for the purpose of per-
fecting arrangements for visit by
Mr.. Gladstone in April next.
Mr.. Gladstone" said Mr.. Gillig,
"has so far overcome his dislike to a
sea voyage that he will make short
trip to this country"in the spring.
One thing that tended to bring about
this change of mind in MIR. Glad
stone was the fact that his physi'
clans have long advised him that an
ocean voyage would be beneficial to
his health, and as he has always
cherished a desire to visit this coun
try, now that his dread of the ocean
has been conquered, he embraced the
opportunity eagerly
Mr.. Gillig says MIR. Glad>tone's
visit will occupy about two months.
and that he will visit only the prin'
cipal ci les.

Killing at Hampton.

HAMPTON, November 27.-Geo: G..
Ihley was shot and instantly killed
here yesterday evering about 6
o'clock, by Willis ]. Williams. The
origin of the difficulty is variously
stated, but it is claimed that Mr..
Williams acted in self-defence.
Near Ihley's right hand, as he lay on
the ground. was found an open knife.
and on the left of his body another
knife was picked up. Mr.. Williams
delivered himself up to the sheriff.
A jury of inquest viewed the body
of the deceased, after which it was
carried to his home, two miles dis.
tant. The jury will meet again on
Monday morning, and complete their
investigation. Mr.. Williams is a
young man, about twenty years old,
and the deceased was about thirty
six. The ball entered his left nos.
tril and ranged upward into the
brain.

AS regards the chief aims and ends
of the farmers movement he
differs in toto from Capt. Tillman;
and so he poke-boldly and well.
His defence of the State admins
tration and the Agricultural Depart
ment was powerful and telling; and
when he came to the Mississippi
College, upon which he fingered long,
carefully, minutely, he, in our opin.
ion; demolished it utterly-beyond
all power of resuscitation. He stove
into the ground twenty furlongs.
He was courteous, quick, genial, wit.
ty; in fact he was delightful. His
audience were extremely pleased
with him, and repeatedly spplauded
him roundly.
In response, Capt. Tillman was
beautifully courteous to Senator
Youmans personally, but otherwise,
in his speech, bitter, cynical and win.
dictive to the very las: degree. Nor
do we use the word vindictive with.
out thinking of what we say. We
are not opposed to the farmers
movement. nor to the enlargement of
the Agricultural Bureau, nor to the
establishment of separate agricul-
tural college. And when we say
that Senator Youmans stove the Mis-
sissippi College twenty furlongs into
the ground, We do not mean to say
that Capt. Tillman and other able
South Carolinians might not estab-
lish and conduct college upon surer
foundations and with finer results.
But we are not in accord with Capt.
Tillman's bitter methods and whole
sale denunciations.
The time for converting the after.
noon court arriving while Captain
Tillman was still speaking, the meet
ing was adjourned to the park, where
it was further conducted in some.
what jerky, disjointed and spasmodic,
but not particularly unpleasant, style.
In the dying moments of the occa.
sion. Mr.. j. Oscar Holder read some
resolutions which we could not hear,
and put them to the vote of the
meeting, which had become a mere
shred. The affirmative response was
feeble; and when q voice called out
for the nays, the negative response
was also feeble, but quite as strong
as the affirmative.
This is the meeting truthfully por
trayed. Edgefeld. of course. as is
her nature, treated Senator You
mans with fauItless courtesy. and
admired him., We are all glad be
came, and hope he will come again.
